Missing something we no longer have

I have recently had to get a new phone. I was looking at a post and it changed the colour of the background then asked me about changing colours. It keeps telling me about new things and do I want to install an app.  I keep having to ask how to get out of loops.

Also I can no longer just turn it off, but have to swipe quickly up the screen twice (to avoid doing anything in the process like turning on the torch), to find a small square to start off the powering off. Apparently they are all like that now.

Then I can't swipe to the next page but have to use an arrow and to get rid of a page I have to minimize it first.  Rant over.

  • I’m still using an old iPhone 8, it has a home button, I really do need to get a newer phone but they are swipe only. My wife has a work iPhone 15, it’s swipe and facial recognition, it’s got too many functions and you need both hands to use it, I can hold my old phone and use my thumb to go to the home page or open apps, all done with one hand. Some of my apps have started to not update so I suppose it’s only a matter of time.

  • My phone says face recognition but my husband found he could reset to my old code.
